NEW YORK - Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was suspended for six games without pay on Wednesday and must undergo behavioral evaluation for violating the NFL's personal-conduct policy.
The 28-year-old Roethlisberger, who won Super Bowls with Pittsburgh in 2006 and 2009, was accused in March of sexually assaulting a 20-year-old female college student in a nightclub.
He was not charged with any crime but NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell had said Roethlisberger still had violated the league's personal-conduct policy.
